GW Annual Fund and Luther Rice Society
Alumni gifts allow the University to provide the best experience to current and future generations of Colonials. GW's oldest giving society, the Luther Rice Society, welcomes young alumni for an annual gift of $250+ (alumni within 5 years of graduation) or $500 (alumni 6-9 years after graduation).
"I have a lot of favorite moments from going to school at GW: Being able to watch the State of the Union on TV, then run to the White House in time to watch the Presidential Motorcade drive past, walking into an elevator and being asked by Governor Tom Ridge how to find a room, standing on the roof of E Street and watching Marine One take off."
